Build around old frame or get a new one?

Is it a good idea to buy new forks to build around this frame or should I aim for a newer full suspension build. I like to bike on non flat terrain. The frame is immaculate and fits my size nicely though. And it looks and feels so well built, is it worth it to let it go or play around with it?

frames are designed to handel only a specific travel soo ... if you have an older frame and want a new fork fid the fork you like and go hit your shops shok parts bin and find some nylon shims to limit the travel..... if you dont want it to THUD when it bottoms out put a thin rubber bumper in the top and bottom of the new shims .... OR get some old Judy TT limiters and drill em out to your slider size... they were all rubber !!!!! its really not hard, most folks make out that forks are hard to work on HorseHocky! there a piece of cake.... I have done hundreds, beleive me you can do it yourself

Check the original equipment on bikepedia. Get the axle to crown measurement of the original fork. Find a modern fork with the same measurement or within 10mm +/-. Travel means nothing, axle to crown is all that matters
